Why looking at these celebrities is risky? X

According to Venkat Krishnapur, vice president of engineering and general manager of McAfee, when users search for these celebrities, they will be greeted with websites and portals with malicious code and hidden spyware. Now, eager to know and see more about their favorite celebrities, users will click on these links, inviting viruses and malware to their system.

In fact, such are the advanced viruses that can even supplant your identity, without any alarm or warning.

Venkat suggests to all Internet users to be cautious, as he said: “As a precaution, consumers should think before clicking and avoid suspicious links that promise free content with celebrities, movies, TV shows or favorite images to protect themselves of cyber fraud. ”

McAfee has made it clear that malware and virus attacks on users will arise from the search itself, but from third-party websites that appear as SERP or search engine result pages.

Some keywords that are combined with the main celebrity keywords are: “torrent”, “free torrent”, “free photos”, “hot photos” and more.
